What the hell does that song have to do with Freddie??????? Only thing I can think of is that the song has so many changes that it's like a Freddie song and Queens work to which you cant pigeonhole them. That's all I can think of. The Band, Emry, I think thats how they spell it, have not cited Queen or Freddie in any way. Its only the title of that song... Any one know of anything on this? |
FriedChicken 18.06.2009 08:35 |
I don't even know what you're talkin about |

FriedChicken wrote: I don't even know what you're talkin about Check it out on Youtube. There is this band called Emry. They have a song titled "Listening To Freddie Mercury". I have no idea how there is a connection as there is no mention of him, nor any reference. Take for example "No one but you". Obviously its about Freddie and perhaps a dedication to others who have died before there time. But this one song, even being titled "Listening to Freddie Mercury" bares nothing to Fred at all. The song is structured with many different styles of music. Much like a ANATO. I looked on the net for the song and details about it, but.... zilch. I can not find a relation between Freddie and the purpose of calling the song "LTFM". |
shazamrock 19.06.2009 03:13 |
I may be going out on a limb here, but could it be possible that whoever wrote the song was listening to Freddie Mercury when he/she wrote (or was inspired to write) the song? Check out the lyrics. Seems like they could be connected to Freddie (and especially his relationship with the public/media) without too much interpretive magic. |
i-Fred 21.06.2009 22:37 |
well that did cross my mind as well.... but I still cant get no solid info on it |

It's not a bad idea really. I was one of several people to get a platinum record by naming a song "Paris Hilton sex tape". |

Examples of song titles not mentioned in the song, or titles of songs that seem to make no sense whatsoever in relation to the song: Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Green Day - Basket Case My Chemical Romance - You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison The Mountain Goats - No Children Emery - Listening To Freddie Mercury Feel free to let me know if there are more, but these are the only ones that currently come to mind. Just because the song isn't specifically saying anything about Freddie doesn't mean that it couldn't possibly be influenced by him, as someone else suggested. My point is, if Queen can perform a song called Bohemian Rhapsody where the words "bohemian" and "rhapsody" are not sung or even spoken and it's arguably one of the best songs in their entire catalog, why should Emery's track be looked down upon just because you didn't get to hear what you were expecting? That may come off as me sounding hostile or angry, but that isn't my intention. I'm just genuinely curious :-) |
john bodega 02.09.2009 09:32 |
No, Bohemian Rhapsody is different. The title is never spoken in the song but the title describes what the song is. It serves some purpose. I can't really speak as to the name of this other song people are harping on about because I haven't heard it and I don't care, but I do get irked when people say BR's name makes no sense or has no relation to the song. Totally untrue. |
Rubbersuit 02.09.2009 13:29 |
Bottom line. Some band nobody's heard of wrote a song nobody's heard about whatever. Let's discuss! |

That is really the only connection I can imagine there is, maybe they listened to Queen and got inspired to write a song layered with a lot of different music styles... Well, I think the song sucks anyway so why bother? >:D |

What does Life Is Real (Song for Lennon) has to do with Lennon? He's mentioned in the song, out of the blue. |

Hi Everybody! Queen aren't very good, but that doesn't stop me listening to Hot Space on my cassette player lots of times a day. I am researching a book I am going to write about Queen. Seeing as you guys are experts, i would liek to run Chapter One passed you. Chapter One: Queen were a French band in the nineties that formed when lead singer Fred Mercuries attended a Holocaust Deniers convention with his friend Brian Mays. It was there that they spotted an unimportant man called John Deacons who put the life and soul into any religious atrocity. Queen were properly formed when Rogert Taylors got his drums out (took his clothes off) and this impressed Fred Mercuries. There first and last album was Hot Space and is universally regarded as one of the worst albums ever recorded. Cheers guys, let me know what you think. SG x |

I have made a few slight changes and pasted below (with cud) Kween were a sailboat band formed in the mouth of Eloton John. They were making albums for aggressive sex since the turn of the decade. Fred Merturny was but a butter pack packer when he wrote all of the songs for The Miracle whilst joging to a cod festival, they were instantly rejected by his mind and he was left dribbling into a cup. The rest was history but his best moment was always to be his fried chicken gag...everyone laugh uncomfortably until he finally left to attend cupping class. What do you think? Worm Of FLUFF |
Soapy Gonad 06.09.2009 13:46 |
Thank you Worm Of Fluff, I have taken your criticism on board nd have decided to not write a book about Kweeens. I can think of better things to do like poking my eye out with guttering or turning to my wife with tear stained eyes and telling her i don't love her anymore. Here is chapters 2: When Freddie decided he was bored of qween and life, he wrote a song called Mr Bad Guy that I didn't like very much. he then sat on Kenny everett til he got an aid that made his bones brittle. Meanwhile John deacon had noticed his upper lip had got shinier but at least the smell of his ring wasn't as over powering as it could have been. He phoned his wife, but accidentaly got throught to her fax machine. Kwean split up the next day, but then that guy from Free pretended to be Friggin Mercury and made a right shitter of it. Queen fans across Queenzone debated about whether he was any good or not, but all they decided was that their opinions weren't very important. |
Queen On Ice 06.09.2009 21:27 |
I am sure there are better ways to wind up us Queen fans SG - or whoever you really are. Your posts have so far been the type of thing that are about as aggravating as finding fluff between your toes. Seriously, try being more like Jake or Erick Mckay (even though they are the same person) as you will see that they know how to push the buttons. You just look and read like a seriously desperate and VERY lacking attention seeker.You may as well quit while you are ahead. You have had a few replies now, I won't be doing another and I doubt many others will either. Verdict: Must Try Harder. |
john bodega 07.09.2009 02:43 |
Can this be the new Queen fan fiction thread? I'll start. "Freddie, hurry up - you're using all of the hot water!", Roger said as he watched Brian angling his hairdryer to varying degrees. There was nothing he could do; he'd still look like a wet dog when he arrived at the airport, especially in this weather. John and Roger were draped lazily over the couch, not at all worried that in five minutes they were supposed to be dressed and ready for the long flight. "Can't wait to get home", Roger coughed as he sipped something from Brian's mini-bar. He'd be damned if he was going to pay for it though. They were leafing idly through a travel brochure, John with a finger carefully running through Roger's hair. "So where are we going next Rog?", John said lovingly. "I'm not going to sodding Egypt again John, I don't care how interesting you think the pyramids were last time". Suddenly there was a howl in the bathroom. "Freddie, are you alright?!!?", Brian wailed as he took off to investigate ; his slippers failed to gain purchase and he stumbled to a halt just outside the door. --- Ok guys, keep it going. |
cacatua 07.09.2009 14:28 |
By the time Brian could liberate his face from his hair to see again, there was a vision of Fred, hurling his razor and muttering, "You stupid fukker!" with about 1/3 of his moustache missing. "Bri", he said I was in the shower and I thought of the lyrics to a fantastic song, and I just wanted to finish shaving and then I would write it down, but I was so preoccupied that I shaved off a bloody hunk of my moustache before I noticed what I was doing!" By this time Brian was back on his feet and peering at Fred's amputated moustache, and Freddie said, "By the way Bri, you smell like a wet poodle!" and Brian said, "That'll be enough poodle jokes from YOU Fred! Damn flea soap! The whole rat's nest had me digging at it, and as I had been hanging out with Roger's dogs, Itchy and Scratchy the other evening, I thought it better to be safe than sorry. You know what happened last time - I had to shave the mess off and wear a wig until it grew back out! You guys were merciless about it!" "Enough about your bitchy little problems! What am I going to do about my moustache?" asked Freddie. "Well, try shortening the other side so it matches," said Brian. "Shit!" said Freddie, "Now I look like that rotter, Hitler, only with an overbite! I guess the whole thing has to go." Brian, remembering the wig, said, "Why don't you just glue the ends back on?" and Fred gave him a wicked look............... "Oh, what was the song that you sacrificed your moustache to anyway?" Brian asked. |

Here is my story: Freddie was thumbing himself rapidly, whilst trying to fend off John Deacon's amorous intentions; "John, stop it!" Freddie said with his gay buck teeth clattering like a myriad of marbles in a sack. Meanwhile Brian was in his bedroom, shooting lazers out of his guitar whilst crying over what a frankly shoddy album the Miracle was. Unfortunately one of the lazers shot out of the window and killed a child on the pavement. Brian was arrested and turned into paste by prison queen fans (goons). Roger Taylor was always doing vox pops about Freddie so didn't manage to see the tidal wave of total irrelevance that was coming his way. In fact, the whole band didn't notice that this wave had covered them all, rendering them completely irrelevant for over 30 years. Freddie looked up..."What was that?" A vinyl copy of Hot Space span through the air and hit him in the shin. Justice, thy name is Hot Space. Now I shall list every 'not so good' Queen album: Queen I Queen II Queen III Queen IV Queen V Queen VI Queen VII Queen VIII Queen IX Queen X Hot Space The Miracle News OF The World Innuendo Made In Heaven Flash Gordon Atrocity Kind Of Magic A Night At The opera A Day At The Races A Day With A Racist.

Freddie fell, writhing to the floor, still clutching the razor in his hand. Three heads peered curiously at him. Was it agony or ecstacy? "Um... Freddie? Are you ok?" asked Brian...

In a rather grandiose and pointed act of self-abnegation and with a (rather apt) flick of the wrist Freddie whipped off his little Hitler-stylee moustache. He felt empty, Paul had stolen his identity, his soul, his feeling - nothing left but a lot of... (nah I wouldn't go that far with the puns). |
buffypython 10.09.2009 17:11 |
Just a general question (not meant to be rude or criticizing) but why do people write Queen slash? I can understand possibly wanting to use Freddie because he was bi, but the other three were and are happily married men. I haven't seen a lot of Queen slash, but what I've seen is pretty freaky (which is not a mixture of Freddie and Deacy :)- ) I'm not saying this is at all freaky; I'm just wondering why you added the small thing at the beginning hinting at a relationship between 2 of the guys. |

I was working a pun vibe based on paul rodgers, SHA and Hot Space - I wasn't hinting at any relationship. I find slash ridiculous and also it was a JOKE. |

As Freddie tried to remember the song, all he could here was a bizarre set of songs that seemed to have been transported to his mind from a different galaxy. 'Man!' he thought 'the cosmos really doesn't rocks'. Then he rushed to the piano and began tinkering with a few chords and jotted down a few lyrics. Buggering crap he thought - this stuff isn't my scene, I've really lost my edge and in a fit of pique he crumpled up the paper and hurled it across the room. Roger let himself into the room and tried to cheer Freddie up by making paper airplanes with the discarded song lyrics and firing them out the hotel window. As the little paper missiles sailed through the air they unfortunately collided with Brian May's Wig (which at this point has dried and fluffed up so big that a local yokel TV station had reported a total eclipse of the sun) Biran pulled them out, looked at it and thught 'shit, I'd better save this rubbish in case I'm really desperate for inspiration someday). Meanwhile poor old Rog was trying to placate a raging Freddie who was threatening to leave the band if he still couldn't remember the song... |
